| Lara Alicia
Masterson is killed in an automobile accident at
age seventeen. But is she really gone or
does she continue to exist somewhere in another
dimension or different state of being? Her father
is nearly devastated by his daughter's tragic
death, his agony exacerbated by the fact that his
and Lara's relationship had not been on the best of
terms recently. He grieves more now because he
thinks there will never be a chance for
reconciliation. Lara disagrees and seeks to find
some way to communicate with her father to help him
deal with his sorrow. This beautifully inspiring story will provide solace to anyone having lost a loved one, and particularly to a parent who has suffered the tragic loss of a child. It presents a thought-provoking account of how things might be and provides a means of dealing with death from a perspective of joy rather than sadness. Since the feelings expressed herein are based on the actual loss of the author's daughter in an automobile accident, the revealed emotions are genuine, as could only be related by one who has experienced them. Regardless of one's beliefs regarding an afterlife, readers will share this father's agony and then his feelings of joy and peace as he eventually finds a way to reconcile with his departed daughter. |
